Compose a written philosophical paper that reflects personal beliefs about the nature of human behavior, the basic tenets of human needs, and the principles and approaches of Adlerian and Family Systems theories that address such behaviors and needs from the point of view of someone planning to work in human resources (focus on organizational management rather than therapist/counselor relationship). Client point of view would be employee’s point of view or management’s point of view as appropriate since I plan to work in organizational psychology.
Include your beliefs about these approaches in organizational management and human resources, personal strengths you bring to counseling, and ethical guidelines you will consider important to adhere to.
eory (at least 3) could you use to address these needs?
Therapeutic Relationship
What does the client/therapist relationship look like?
What is the role of the client?
What is the role of the counselor?
What characteristics specific to the theory are important for you as a counselor?
Personal Strengths and Characteristics
What are your personal strengths and characteristics that will help you in your career as a helper?
How do these strengths tie into the theory and client/counselor
relationship?
Ethical Guidelines
What are the ethical guidelines most concerning to you?
What can you do to protect yourself from ethical dilemmas or concerns?
